Unexpectedly... Wu Xie seemed to be extremely knowledgeable.

Facing Sui Yi’s gaze, Wu Xie did not evade but responded frankly: "In my place... it is not uncommon."

This statement was very meaningful.

Undoubtedly, it informed Sui Yi that their world had high survival standards. The more dangerous creatures there were, the more masters there would be. Certainly, it also meant that the situation was chaotic, with frequent deaths; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many Zhi.

However, this Great Tang timeline wasn’t considered a very perilous and terrifying world, but the Western Regions could be considered as such.

Sui Yi nodded and asked, "But I think, in your place, there might not be many people actively raising it."

According to Liew Baiyi and Wu Xie’s saying, in such a high-level world, it shouldn’t be easy to do something so conscienceless that doesn’t benefit oneself much either.

The higher the level of a world, the more methods there are to become powerful.

Using so many people to boil a broth to feed Zhi is indeed a quick way to mature a Zhi rapidly, and one can indeed obtain a powerful Zhi in a short time, but it still requires a lot of thought, and in any timeline, both the Orthodox Sect and the Black Path resist this method. For example, even the people of the Demon Sect don’t go to this extent.

——This is no Barbarian Wilderness era of eating raw meat and drinking blood; those who use this method are from the Evil Path.

Of course, Sui Yi couldn’t determine exactly how powerful Zhi was, only knowing it must be a very dangerous existence.

"Yes, this is my first time seeing it too," Wu Xie looked at the pot of broth, brows furrowing tightly, then walked over and extinguished the stove fire.

By now, several merchants had barely stood up. Being well-traveled, their tolerance was relatively strong. Though fearful at heart, they remained calm: "We heard there was a cannibalistic black inn in this town before, but didn’t expect this one would be as well... and at such scale. The Western Regions are indeed terrifying. After this business trip, I fear I will never come back to the Western Regions again."

Those who haven’t experienced it firsthand would never feel this close call from death. Cold sweat poured down their bodies.

Most people present felt the same, but not these two who saved them.

One was as cold as an iceberg, the other was indifferent and gentle, but both were people not easy to approach.

At this moment, the two walked ahead, one undoubtedly tall and handsome, the other slender and tall...

In comparison, it was as if gender distinctions could be made clearly.

Sharp-eyed individuals seemed to ponder.

Not soon after, their thoughts were interrupted.

There were sounds ahead.

"Is that Western devil’s skin below dozing off? It’s been ages since they sent up the broth!"

"Did something happen?"

"Impossible, we’ve checked every group... Even if there are two promising youths, a Great Grandmaster couldn’t withstand such a large dose of Snow Fragrance..."

"Better be cautious, go down and have a look?"

Those above were planning to come down to see what happened, while Wu Xie and Sui Yi were ready to intercept the two. Suddenly!

Someone in the group behind yelled out, realizing that in the unnoticeable corner next to them, there was actually a pit dug out, piled with countless human heads, some long-since reduced to skulls, most covered in tufts of hair, but the ones on top were still fresh, their flesh not yet removed, appearing horrifying with disheveled and glaring heads. Most of these decapitated individuals had bloodshot eyes with bloody tears streaming from the corners, even Sui Yi felt a startle in her heart, let alone ordinary people. Thus, someone couldn’t control it and made a noise immediately.

"No good! Something’s wrong below!"

The person above shouted, and immediately Sui Yi heard the sound of the mechanism lock turning.

With a Magnetic Sensation sweep, the two walls, floor, and ceiling were instantly within Sui Yi’s view, and at that moment, she understood the opponent’s objective.

Close the gate, seal it! Release the poison gas!

At the critical moment, Sui Yi’s fingers pressed together, a Finger Sword shot out, directly piercing into the three-inch spot on the left wall’s mechanism lock that released poison gas, cutting off the lock passage, halting the mechanism abruptly. However, Sui Yi ultimately had not brought her sword and couldn’t stop the massive Stone Gate from falling rumbling ahead in time.

Of course, even if the gate closed, she had a way out, not to mention...

Boom!!!

The sword emerged, and the thick Stone Gate split directly in two.

The people behind were dumbfounded, and those above probably peed their pants from fright too.

This gate... this gate was especially thick and long, about half a hand’s length!

Sui Yi felt that if it were pure single-attack strength, this person was not inferior to her, and if both fought fully, the outcome would be uncertain since he, just like Liew Baiyi, came from that world with a different cultivation method from theirs.

However, Wu Xie had already leapt up, and screams of anger were soon heard, then silence quickly followed.

Sui Yi walked out the door and saw an upward-opening entrance with stairs leading upwards... Wu Xie had taken care of whom needed to be dealt with, but since it was a depth equivalent to four or five floors below, the space above was also opened up. When Sui Yi went up, Wu Xie had just come out from that room, ascending without looking back.

Sui Yi found that inside the room were rows of beds, with about a dozen women, of all ages, lying comatose, all covered haphazardly with thin clothing, but some parts remained uncovered.

The lower parts were naked.

Sui Yi’s brow furrowed.

Behind, many exclaimed in shock, others cursed in pained anger.

Several men’s faces turned livid, for aside from those men killed by Wu Xie on the ground, each was stark naked.

What happened earlier is imaginable. (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
